Efficiency at maximum power: An analytically solvable model for stochastic heat engines

TL;DR: In this article, a class of cyclic Brownian heat engines in the framework of finite-time thermodynamics was studied and it was shown that for infinitely long cycle times, the engine works at the Carnot efficiency limit producing zero power.

A tutorial on hidden Markov models and selected applications in speech recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the basic theory of hidden Markov models (HMMs) as originated by L.E. Baum and T. Petrie (1966) and give practical details on methods of implementation of the theory along with a description of selected applications of HMMs to distinct problems in speech recognition.

On the Nature of Allosteric Transitions: A Plausible Model

TL;DR: "It is certain that all bodies whatsoever, though they have no sense, yet they have perception, and whether the body be alterant or alterec, evermore a perception precedeth operation; for else all bodies would be like one to another."
